Snap: When you take a photo or video, or receive a photo or video, it is known as a “snap”. So, when someone asks you to snap them, they are asking you to send them a photo or video through Snapchat, or even a message through the apps chat function.

What is Snapchat actually meant for?

Snapchat is a popular messaging app that lets users exchange pictures and videos (called snaps) that are meant to disappear after theyre viewed. Its advertised as a new type of camera because the essential function is to take a picture or video, add filters, lenses or other effects and share them with friends.

Why do people put on snap?

95% of Snapchatters say the app makes them feel happy, more than any other app tested. As reiterated in this second element of the report, which looks at the reasons why people turn to each social app, Snapchat is primarily used for staying connected with friends, not for business or product discovery.
